Why I'm Never Going to Get Anywhere, in Pretentious Tones

Seriously, what the crap?

This is from a regular email I get about submissions for essays and other writing. It was supposed to move me to submit more regularly, but I confess, that is not going as planned.

****************

[out of nothing], an electronic publication interested in new works in image, sound, text, and the intersections between these media, is now open to submissions for its fifth issue: "out of a system declaring nothing out of relevance". Please submit your textual, aural, visual, poly/ambi-medial work to us at shelling.peanuts( at)gmail. com [replace (at) with @]

Deadline: January 01, 2011

Complete submissions guidelines are available at:

http://www.outofnothing.org/ relevance/

Prospective contributors would be well-advised to consult our earlier publications at http://www.outofnothing.org as a guide to the type of work we're interested in: to supplement this understanding and ideally stimulate your thinking about a new piece made particularly to address the issues that consume, or rather, are consumed by us, we offer the
following potential topics:

> the vacuum
> salvage / remainders
> imaginary spaces possessed of imaginary dimensions
> darkness / lightlessness
> reduced or infinitesimal means
> the exponential
> self-abnegating symbols
> the blank
> obliteration
> the inconsequential
> refusal
> the contentless / general contentlessness
> the generic and / or undifferentiated and / or the contra-original
> adhesive agents in search of clients to bind
> none of the above or below

Electronic submissions only. Please allow 3 - 6 months response time.
